Quick Facts Country, State ...

Glendale was settled in 1855.[2] The community was named for the valley in which it is situated.[3] It was formally established as an unincorporated town in 1979.[4] At that time, it consisted entirely of land owned by Charlie Hester, who operated a motel, gas station, and restaurant.[4] The town's population peaked at 36, mainly comprising Hester's family and employees.[4]

In 1996, county commissioners approved a plan to redevelop Glendale as a casino resort with 600 hotel rooms, despite objections from residents of nearby Moapa Valley;[5] the project was never realized.

The town was dissolved in 2001, because its population had declined to four, making it impossible to fill the five seats on the town board.[4] Glendale later became part of the unincorporated town of Moapa Valley.[6] In 2009, the town boundaries were shifted, making Glendale part of Moapa.[6][7]
